Title: Happening Now! Post by: eightf48544 on October 27, 2009, 15:39:20 15:38 27/09/2009 HST stopped by my house. Appears to be on Down Main just short Taplow station.
Am investigating. Title: Re: Happening Now! Post by: Mookiemoo on October 27, 2009, 15:42:11 Please no - i'm going home in an hour!
Title: Re: Happening Now! Post by: eightf48544 on October 27, 2009, 15:43:41 Sorry appears to be Up Main just moved a few yards towards London.
Title: Re: Happening Now! Post by: eightf48544 on October 27, 2009, 16:06:40 Update 16:05. Still there HST set on Up Main no sign of any movement around train i.e. driver or TM. Must be train failure as next auto UM21B? is green.
Good news trains running on other three lines. Title: Re: Happening Now! Post by: BBM on October 27, 2009, 16:20:59 On FGW website now:

Post by: eightf48544 on October 27, 2009, 16:49:15 16:46 just rolled back wrong line to I presumme Taplow station to detrain?
Didn't know that there were still any railwaymen who know how to issue wrong line orders. Title: Re: Happening Now! Post by: Oxman on October 27, 2009, 19:42:53 Two unsolicited brake applications and then no further because the brakes would not come off. Eventually managed to release the brakes from the Bristol end cab and return to Maidenhead to detrain passengers.
